I'm tired of not being able to dress or even say that I'm goth because it's going to be taken in a more sexual way than anything else, I'm tired of posting a picture and having weird people write obscene things to me. No matter how alternative you make yourself look, there's always going to be someone who comments something sexual and it's disgusting. Internet culture has greatly distorted the meaning of being goth and now everyone who claims to be interested in that type of people is only talking about e-girls with black lipstick and tight black clothes.

If you’re curious about the origins of modern goth, or need something to get you in the October mood, I highly recommend Justin Sledge/ESOTERICA’s What is goth?

His channel is generally geared towards scholarly occult topics, perfect for baby and elder bats alike.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to ask this, and I probably won’t be the last, but I find post-punk “purists” very confusing and want to see what you guys think. Essentially I’ve heard people argue that modern goth music “isn’t goth” and is rather something else entirely, but why? I never see anyone call modern rock bands anything but rock (ignoring sub-genres), but none of them sound like the Stones or, hell, the Beatles. Why do some people hold our music to the same standard when the point is for it to keep evolving? I mean wouldn’t the same thing over and over again get stale and boring after a while?

I mean it. I want to cry my eyes out. I’m looking for something more gloomy sounding but anything works.
